When did they acquire the KC pick ?1 down.....15 to go.
ATL has some decent talent and Harrington will "not lose" a couple of games. Oak and KC are decent enough to win several games ... neither team has a bad defense and their offenses should improve as the year goes on. TB had injuries that didn't help assuming neither are serious (Garcia, Caddy) I would expect a few wins. Miami is a good team maybe not playoff good but not in this category. That leaves Detroit who may be a playoff sleeper. Cleveland really may run away with the #1 pick for Dallas as their OL is so poor I can't imagine Quinn can step right in and be a huge upgrade.I wouldn't count my chickens before they're hatched.ATLOAKTBMIAKCDETand a couple of other teams are going to give the Browns a serious run for their money for the #1.
McFaddenJulius Jones sucks, the only purpose for him is to give Barber some rest

This pick is not going to be nearly as high as we thought earlier in the season. I'm thinking it will end up somewhere between 10-15. Will be curious to see if Jones takes Best Player Available with both 1st round picks, or does he bundle and try to trade up.Either way, as Cowboy fan, the trade still makes me happy.I'm thinking 13-3 now![]()
I'm thinking more of the 20th to the 25th pick range, but I agree it was a good trade for both teams and Dallas would do well if they traded up or took BPA with both picks.Cleveland has a bye now and a pretty soft schedule. They have no major injuries and and Tucker just came back to add depth to the o-line. Add to that the fact that after the bye week, they could get another boost to the o-line in pro-bowler LeChuck Bentley and a boost to the secondary in Gary Baxter and a play-off appearance is looking more certain than possible.This pick is not going to be nearly as high as we thought earlier in the season.

Cleveland will be a playoff team, THIS year.
This looks like the most accurate range to me.The Brownies are actually decent this year. Its great that even the Bungals are worse than themI'd say the pick will end up being around 16 - 18.

Still unlikely to sniff the playoffs?And the funny thing about all this is that Dallas fans are going to be upset with two late first round picks. They should be happy with that even if it means they don't have any chance of getting McFadden... but they won't be. Losers. Two first round picks, especially later picks with lower salary cap prices are golden.ATL has some decent talent and Harrington will "not lose" a couple of games.

We're not getting ahead of ourselves. Nobody has uttered the term Super Bowl contenders.But it's pretty clear that the remaining schedule is about as easy as it gets. Optimism is OK, especially in such a pessimistic city.I would suggest to Browns fans to not count their chickens before they hatch. It's a young team, the wheels can fall off at any time and before you know it you are in a death spiral. I do hope they make the playoffs though!
